.AVIATION /18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday/...
Issued at 1037 AM MST Wed Nov 4 2026
VFR conditions expected through the TAF period. Winds are
currently light (<7 kts) and gradually transitioning to a
northeasterly component, with northeasterly winds remaining in
place through the late afternoon/evening period. CAMs still hint
at a low chance (10-20%) of light rain showers at or around APA
this evening with the system that is moving through, so have kept
the PROB30 in the TAF.
Overnight, drainage flow will be a bit more westerly (240-260
versus 200-230 degrees) and should remain under 8 kts. Quiet day
expected tomorrow, with light and variable winds in the morning,
transitioning to an easterly wind by the afternoon.

Denser cloud cover begins to propagate through the area ahead of
a brief storm system that will pass through over the course of
the next 24 hours. Cigs will begin to lower at nearly all
terminals come this afternoon and evening. All Colorado
terminals (aside from KDRO) will be at risk of seeing cigs below
ILS breakpoints at some point between 18-06Z. Although,
confidence is lower at valley terminals whether this will be
true. Snow showers at mountain terminals (KASE, KEGE, and KTEX)
could periodically see reduced visibilities to MVFR or IFR. This
will also mean mountain obstructions will be an additional
concern.

.AVIATION...
KSLC...Area of low pressure moving through the region will bring
generally BKN VFR CIGS around 4-8 kft and a low chance (~30%) of
showers. Winds through Wednesday favored to be light out of the NW,
with some VRB possible near any passing showers. Showers will taper
off 23-02Z or so, with winds then expected to shift SE after 02Z
Thursday.
REST OF UTAH AND SOUTHWEST WYOMING...An area of low pressure will
gradually churn through the area Wednesday. It will bring a low
chance (~20-40%) of showers primarily to northern terminals, and
generally SCT to BKN VFR CIGS around 3-8 kft. Shower activity will
wane through Wednesday evening with clearer skies expected
overnight. Winds will generally be light (less than 10 kts) and
follow a typical diurnal pattern, or be somewhat variable.

VFR conditions are expected across most of western and north-central
Nebraska over the next 24 hours. The exception will be across
portions of north-central Nebraska, where some lower stratus and
light rain showers remain possible through the afternoon and evening
hours. Northwest winds will increase through the afternoon,
especially across the Sandhills into north-central Nebraska, with
sustained winds of 15 to 20 knots and gusts up to 30 knots possible.
Gusty northwest winds will persist overnight into Thursday morning,
though gusts should gradually diminish to around 20 knots. Mid to
upper-level cloud cover will increase across the area overnight,
though VFR conditions are expected to prevail despite the increasing
cloud cover.

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through about 12Z Thu. A
frontal passage late tonight into Thu morning will bring some
breezy and gusty winds to the Panhandles especially across the
western half of the combined Panhandles between 12Z and 20Z.
Behind this front, mainly after 10Z Thu, low clouds will have to
be watched for. At a minimum MVFR CIGS are expected for KGUY and
KDHT. But likely to bring some MVFR CIGS to KAMA as well. Watch
for the change from SCT to BKN decks for KAMA in subsequent TAF
issuances. There is a low chance for some rain showers to impact
KGUY between 12Z and 18Z Thu, while KDHT and KAMA are likely to
remain dry compared to KGUY.
